Abstract
We prove the following result: Let be a complete, connected 4-manifold with uniformly positive isotropic curvature and with bounded geometry. Then there is a finite collection of manifolds of the form , where is a fixed point free discrete subgroup of the isometry group of the standard metric on , such that is diffeomorphic to a (possibly infinite) connected sum of copies of and/or members of . This extends recent work of Chen-Tang-Zhu and Huang. We also extend the above result to the case of orbifolds. The proof uses Ricci flow with surgery on complete orbifolds.
